[Starter Clutch fail, as per my build thread..]

This reminds me of my first 1052. Bought it with a serious rattle/knock. Turns out that the original starter clutch was held together with 3 rivets and this one had sheared one off. No damage and got the bike for a case of beer. Replaced with the updated clutch (looked exactly as above) and voila.

Glad you got er sorted.

The shift shaft (I have never typed shift shaft before; shift shaft...) is removable without splitting an engine but you'll have to take the clutch off. It will be easier to get the seal out with no shaft there but most oil seals set in a blind well can be removed by the three self-tapping screws method. Arrange the screws to form an equalateral triangle on the seal and screw each in a bit at a time. When the screws bottom out on the case, each turn will begin to pull the seal out. Keep screwing each screw inwards a bit at a time and the seal should come out eventually The countershaft seal I do not know; it may be set in a ridge in the cases. Try replacing the easy to get out seals first and see if the leak stops.

Thanks for this tip. Great advice helped me out with an unrelated issue.

Would you be able to measure them for me next time you're near your bike?

Gentlemen, quick question. I'm looking for some info on coil-on-plug setups for my 1052... I bought some from a newer GSXR600 but they are too damn tall. See photo.

Anyone know of a shorter version that would work? I'm adapting this motor to efi and need the space under the tank.
